Words of Wisdom: The Love of God Almighty NEVER Ceases To Be!

/in /by

Words of Encouragement:

Do you realize how much The LORD loves YOU!  The God who created all things is madly in love with you.  Every day, I discover and understand the love of God in ways that I could never imagine before.  Consider the true story below:

“Tell him that I love him:”

A few weeks ago, I was having trouble with my laptop.  I knew that I needed to get it repaired immediately as I was leaving the country in a few days and would need it while I was away.  I began to search on Google for a service center that could help me with short notice.  I immediately found a nearby shop that could see me that day.  As I spoke to the gentleman on the phone, I encountered a “spirit” that I could not identify at the time.  It was informative, yet aloof; semi-kind yet rude.  When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted and assisted by a very personable young man.  This was clearly not who I had spoken to over the phone.  There was another gentleman there that appeared to be the boss.  He was very demanding of his employees and seemed to micromanage their every move.  I inquired of the whereabouts of the gentleman that I had spoken to on the phone, as I had gotten his name. Not surprisingly, the gentleman on the phone was the same as the man that appeared as the boss.  He was the boss.

At the end of the service visit, some 5 hours later since the laptop had to be left with them, I noticed a sign in the shop that appeared to be of a Christian nature.  The “boss” had begun to introduce me to various types of software that would be helpful to me in the real estate business, and my husband and I listened attentively.  Suddenly, the conversation changed to life issues regarding the government and how he believed that “Big Brother” was forever watching our every move.  On the surface of what he was saying I had no objections, but spiritually I knew there was more to the story.  I found this man to be extremely intelligent and very well read.  He was educated and boasted of his knowledge as a neurophysicist.  He continued to talk about various subjects that further demonstrated his vast knowledge of the physical world.  I looked at the poster again and I asked him if he was a Christian.  He hesitated slightly and then said he was neither a Christian nor an Atheist. He explained himself as a man of wisdom that looks at everything based on scientific fact.  Our conversation was too detailed to recap it all here, but I then knew why God had sent me to this place.

God had a message for this man.  I was instructed to let him know that Jesus loves him no matter what he believes.  No matter what I said to him, he would ignore my words and wanted only to debate the reality of the true existence of God.  I refused to debate.  I was able to honestly say to him that I did not have to debate because I am “absolutely” sure that God is real.  I explained that I do not rely on the words or testimonies of others as I have personally seen and heard the voice of God Almighty.  I explained that there is nothing that he could say that could change my mind as I KNOW that my God IS God!  We ended this conversation with me begging him to go to my website and read my testimony to understand how I came to “Know” absolutely that Jesus Christ is the living son of God and that God is real.  He promised me that he would.  By the end of our conversation, I saw the human spirit within this man that had an unspoken yearning to know if I was speaking the truth.

Since that day, I am compelled to pray for him daily.  I only pray that God’s will is accomplished in his life.  I do not know what will happen.  But I do know, even while he was denying the existence of my LORD, God was holding an outstretched arm trying to pull this man into His presence.  Today, the LORD shared with me that this man has been chosen by him to be a Messenger to this dying Christian world!  He will continue to pull at his heart until he accepts.  O LORD God, what an awesome loving act this is.

How can this real life story encourage us all?  Know that God is love.  He has the answer to all our problems.  He has a purpose for this man.  Does He have one for you?  Humble yourself to gain a true relationship with Jesus Christ.  There is no other hope in this world.

The devil is deceiving the people of God daily.  Do not be caught in his trap.  Do not think of yourself as better than this man.  He has lived as he has lived by the grace of God and NOW God Almighty will mold him and equip him with “absolute” truth.  Truth that he has no knowledge of, but truth that he will soon come to love and adore.

Be aware of the influence of evil disguised as good!  A few days after my encounter with the man, I was in a church service and saw the people lifting up their hands and praising God! They sang beautiful, melodious songs unto the Lord God.  The LORD began to speak to me and said, “Look at them my child.  They lift up their hands, they shout, and they praise.  But they do not praise me.  They do not worship me.  Their hearts are far from me!”  God shared that the man at the computer shop would more quickly convert to loving Him completely than the hypocrites that were pretending to love Him.  “O LORD God,” I cried!  “Have mercy on us, LORD.  Help us to learn what it means to love and worship you with ALL of our soul.” Be careful that you give no place to the devil within your heart.  This can only be completed through surrendering everything to God in prayer!  You can never resist the devil and he will never flee until you surrender all.  Amen.

Scripture Reference for Meditation and Obedience:

Our fight in this world is not against flesh and blood.  We are not to fight against each other.  We are called to love each other as God loves us.  Do not wrap yourself up in the politics of this world.  Lean unto the LORD for all the wisdom that you need.  Your one true purpose in life is to fall in love with Jesus Christ, My Lord, and Savior.  Fighting each other will produce no spiritual fruit in our lives.  Loving the Lord God by trusting and obeying His commands will yield an overflowing of spiritual knowledge and blessings.  Remember, everything “spiritual” is NOT from God.  Satan is a spirit whose purpose is to present himself as God in our lives.

1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.  (James 4:1-8)

Words of Wisdom: Praise and Worship In the Presence of God

/in /by

Words of Wisdom and Scripture Reference:

Men should always live for the opportunity to praise and worship God.  To “shout” as most Christians think of it is to offer praise and worship to God.  But, is it really?  It can be…if sincere.  To run, scream, and yell does not mean that true praise and worship are being offered.  Lucifer, now called the devil, was once a Cherubim Angel and was responsible for leading other angels in praising and worshipping God.  As an act of rebellion against God, whom he hates, he incites many Christians today to disturb church services with “false” audible praise that many accept as true praises to God.  Fortunately, those with a genuine spiritual connection with God are not deceived and can discern the devil’s works.  God has taught me the proper manner in which to offer Him praise and worship.  I share these teachings with you below.

What is Praise?

Praise, as God has taught me, is to be thankful.  When we praise God, we express our gratitude for His response to our prayers and His protection of us in all matters.  His loving arms are forever outstretched to fight our enemies for our survival.  He does the things that we cannot do for ourselves, and for that, we should be grateful and thankful.  We praise with a loud voice; we exclaim His joy everlasting, we dance as David danced, and we might even hold up holy hands.  All of these things are acts of visible praise that others might see.  God searches the heart as we praise Him to see if we are truly praising Him or creating a “show” for others to see.  God cannot be fooled. Our praise must be genuine.  The scriptures below are only a few that support the act of giving proper praise to God:

  • 35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. (Gen 29:35)
  • 2 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. 3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel. (Judges 5:2-3)
  • 6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. (2 Chron 7:5-6)

What is Worship?

To worship God is to absolutely adore Him!  When we worship Him, we must “humble” ourselves in His presence.  Who are we to stand upright before the Lord God?  In true worship, we automatically fall on our knees, hide our faces, bow our heads, etc.  God is too great for us to stand upright in His presence if we truly worship Him!  The “surrendered” human spirit of man worships God, and an abandoned spirit already knows how to worship the LORD God Almighty! The scriptures below support what God has taught me about worship.  True worship cannot be faked. However, Satan will mock true worshipers.  His goal is to pull such a worshiper into false praise and loud outbursts, to pull them out of truly humbling themselves before the LORD.  This does not mean worship is always silent, but it does mean it is NOT disruptive.  God only reads the heart and knows the true intent of the heart.  Make sure you are not guilty of allowing the enemy to move you into false worship.

During “true” worship given to God, the surrendered human spirit ignores the natural surroundings as the worshiper fixates on the Spirit and Presence of God Almighty!  Search the scriptures and see what is said about “worship.” A few significant scriptures are listed below:

5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. (Ex 34:5-8)

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)

26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord. 27 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren. (Gen 24:26-27)

48 I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son. (Gen 24:48)

31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. (Ex 4:31)

Prayers: Praise and Worship In the Presence of God

/in /by

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, O how I love you, Lord God!  The deeper my love for you becomes, the more I realize that I do not know you…not ALL of you! You are more than a mind can ever imagine. Continue to stretch my understanding and my love for you on every level, my LORD.  With every revelation of who you are, the more I realize the vastness of your being.  Only a God that is God can be so multifaceted.  There is nothing common about you.  With every round of glory exposed, there is yet 100 more rounds to go!  How awesome you are, Dear LORD.  Thank you for your teachings and presence in my life.  When I am with you at the start of each day, I want nothing but to stay in your presence forever and worship you as God.  How great is the sweet savor of your breath and the all-blinding glow of your righteousness.  When you push me away to begin my day, it is always with the assurance that you will remain present every second and guide me as I go.  I leave “drunk” from your holy presence and find that it takes time to gather myself to visually see and understand where I am!  Worshipping you, LORD, reaches deep into my Soul!  O Lord, Dissect My Soul.  I offer this prayer, Lord, for all those that read it and especially for those that accept the words in their hearts as their own prayer to you.  Amen.

I pray, Heavenly Father, that the students received the wisdom that you provided yesterday as revealed from the book of Deuteronomy.  I have read this book so many times, but never received it as I did yesterday.  Thank you, Lord, for always knowing what we need at specific times in our lives.  I surrender my heart and soul to you this day and accept you all over again as the greatest love of my life.  Have mercy on me, Father God.

Continue to bless the disciples of Dissect My Soul Ministries and all its followers and students. Particularly bless the people that have joined our “Love Jesus” Movement.  Help us, LORD, and guide us in uniting the whole world in loving you completely.  Teach us to worship you in truth and in spirit as you have commanded.  It is your requirement that we love you in this way, Father, since you are Spirit!  The words of the Holy Scriptures prove that this demand is critical to developing an intimate relationship with you since you communicate with us ONLY by Spirit to spirit.  When our spirit communicates with your Spirit, we then become one with you, Lord.  Thank you, Father, that there is no other way.  Thank you that the way to you has been made available for all people.  The race, color, or gender does not matter.  Every created soul can find you if it chooses to, and every soul can fall in love with you, if such a one is willing to succumb to your perfect will!  Thank you for the assurance that you are willing to be the God of all that are willing to “be your people.”  Keep me as your people, LORD, and please remain as My GOD!  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear LORD Almighty, I give you my heart today.  I love you, LORD, far greater than mere words can express.  Teaching others about your unchanging love reaches far beyond my expressions of love and worship to you.  If I am able to shake the vine, Lord, to produce “fruit,” then my soul is at peace.  Although selfishly I desire to keep you all to myself, I am comforted by the fact that you are so wide and fill the everlasting space of time that there is no need for me to want you all to myself.  Lord, the more I get to know you, the more I realize that every “surrendered” soul can already claim that “it” has total personal access to your Spirit, because it is so!  You have no end to your love and what you have to offer.  Giving me 100 percent of “You” takes nothing from anyone else and, God, that blows my mind!  How could I understand this and not love you completely?

The ways of Satan are evil through and through.  There is no light anywhere.  The closer I get to you, LORD, the more I see the ways of your enemy, which is now my enemy only because I dared to love you, Lord Jesus, with ALL of my heart.  Father, when you sent me to the Christian world to tell it that ¾ of the Christian world is on its way to hell and don’t know it, I believed that it could change.  I believed, Lord, that one by one, church by church, when they heard the truth that change would come.  I so wanted to believe this.  I, even I, wanted to prove to you that change could take place.  I thank you, Lord, for those that have listened and those that are yet seeking the truth.  Bless them, Lord, and show them the truths that you have shown me so that we can all walk with you hand in hand, Lord Jesus!  Show me, Lord, the many truths that you have shown others so that I too can have all of you.

But…O God, the evil that I have seen within the body of Christ!  The hatred and bitterness that fills the very pores of the Christian Leaders who dare to be called by your name.  I have seen the Ministers and Preachers lurking in the darkness to contrive evil acts against others.  I have seen Churches allow Satan to sing and dance in the pulpits and they are clueless to who he is.  I have heard the true doctrines of demons being preached to your people and I, Lord, have even seen the Pastors degrading members from the pulpit and preaching to destroy them emotionally with lies and deep deceptions!  I set out to show you that there is hope and instead you allowed me to see what you see…Oh how great is the darkness and the evil!  How can you love us, LORD God?  The stench that comes up to you is great.  How do you tolerate our lack of obedience and failure to worship you as God?  LORD, have mercy on our souls!

With every revelation of who you are, I am more humbled in your presence knowing that you are the great I AM THAT I AM!  To have known “I AM” allows me to stay close to you and never depart.  Thank you for the protection you have provided all of my life and particularly over the past week.  You know my heart and what I need…always.  Thank you, LORD GOD.

I pray now, LORD, for the students and followers of Dissect My Soul Ministries.  Keep them grounded and safe.  May they grow continuously in perfecting their relationships with you, Father.  For those participants that have already joined the “Love Jesus” Movement and those that are yet to join, I pray, God, that you will make the spiritual challenge of falling deeper in love with you as powerful as the Holy Spirit will allow!  Help them to know that there is more to loving you than what the world is saying. For this dear Lord, I am grateful. Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Teachings:

My life has been a roller coaster of trials and tribulations over the last few months.  The last 7 days have proven to be worse yet.  All these things have been allowed by God to teach me how to trust and love Him more.  All that I teach, I must first live.  When I live it, it then becomes my testimony and no one can alter or cause me to deny that which I have personally endured.  I am grateful to God for being my friend.  In the midst of all matters of life, I still find the teachings of God to be true and everlasting.  If you follow the truths below, you will ALWAYS prevail over darkness.  As I endured the darkness that was before me, I followed the steps below which I now pass on to you.  Study the scriptures and make them your own.  Amen.

Always repent before the Lord…daily.  When you pray, assume that you have sinned in some manner, even if you do not know the specifics.  This cannot be a routine that is not genuine.  It cannot be half-hearted.  God will read your heart to see if your repentance is genuine.  See the words of Psalm 51 below. Use this as your daily guide with the goal of God restoring a “Clean Heart” within you.

Worship God in spirit and in truth.  God is Spirit and is all “Truth.”  There is no evil or darkness within Him.  God does not need us constantly begging for stuff and things in life.  All we need to do is “honestly” Worship Him! See the scriptures below.  When we worship God, darkness cannot remain in our lives.  True worship is a product of true love.

  • 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.  (Psalms 51:1-19)

  • 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  (John 4:23-24)

  • 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  (John 14:16-17)

  • 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.  (John 16:13-15)

Dear Believers in Christ Jesus.  NEVER take God for granted.  He is our only hope in all things.  His arms are outstretched and waiting for us all to love Him unconditionally. Please read and consider the words below.  He who hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Lord is saying.  Amen.

  • 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the  Spirit. (John 3:6-8)
  • God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
  • Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. 6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. 7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. 11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. 12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. 13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. 14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? (Job 26:5-14)
